Here's the traceback from one of the AIX buildbots: [ 32/400] test_distutils unable to execute './Modules/ld_so_aix': No such file or directory [22429 refs] test test_distutils failed -- Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/shager/cpython-buildarea/2.7.edelsohn-aix-ppc64/build/Lib/distutils/tests/test_build_ext.py", line 285, in test_get_outputs cmd.run() File "/home/shager/cpython-buildarea/2.7.edelsohn-aix-ppc64/build/Lib/distutils/command/build_ext.py", line 337, in run self.build_extensions() File "/home/shager/cpython-buildarea/2.7.edelsohn-aix-ppc64/build/Lib/distutils/command/build_ext.py", line 446, in build_extensions self.build_extension(ext) File "/home/shager/cpython-buildarea/2.7.edelsohn-aix-ppc64/build/Lib/distutils/command/build_ext.py", line 528, in build_extension target_lang=language) File "/home/shager/cpython-buildarea/2.7.edelsohn-aix-ppc64/build/Lib/distutils/ccompiler.py", line 691, in link_shared_object extra_preargs, extra_postargs, build_temp, target_lang) File "/home/shager/cpython-buildarea/2.7.edelsohn-aix-ppc64/build/Lib/distutils/unixccompiler.py", line 200, in link raise LinkError, msg LinkError: command './Modules/ld_so_aix' failed with exit status 1 (this is the build: http://buildbot.python.org/all/builders/PPC64%20AIX%202.7/builds/917) This appears to be related to which was only fixed for 3.3 and 3.4. I guess a backport should fix the problem for Python 2.7 as well, but cannot test this. The result of traceback is AIX Python 2.7 always failing on the buildbot waterfall: http://buildbot.python.org/all/builders/PPC64%20AIX%202.7

The problem also still exists on Python 3.4 (and probably 3.3 and 3.5 as well), even though these should have the patch from applied: * http://buildbot.python.org/all/builders/PPC64%20AIX%203.4/builds/707 * http://buildbot.python.org/all/builders/PPC64%20AIX%203.4/builds/707/steps/test/logs/stdio Traceback: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/shager/cpython-buildarea/3.4.edelsohn-aix-ppc64/build/Lib/distutils/tests/test_build_ext.py", line 58, in test_build_ext cmd.run() File "/home/shager/cpython-buildarea/3.4.edelsohn-aix-ppc64/build/Lib/distutils/command/build_ext.py", line 339, in run self.build_extensions() File "/home/shager/cpython-buildarea/3.4.edelsohn-aix-ppc64/build/Lib/distutils/command/build_ext.py", line 448, in build_extensions self.build_extension(ext) File "/home/shager/cpython-buildarea/3.4.edelsohn-aix-ppc64/build/Lib/distutils/command/build_ext.py", line 535, in build_extension target_lang=language) File "/home/shager/cpython-buildarea/3.4.edelsohn-aix-ppc64/build/Lib/distutils/ccompiler.py", line 717, in link_shared_object extra_preargs, extra_postargs, build_temp, target_lang) File "/home/shager/cpython-buildarea/3.4.edelsohn-aix-ppc64/build/Lib/distutils/unixccompiler.py", line 196, in link raise LinkError(msg) distutils.errors.LinkError: command './Modules/ld_so_aix' failed with exit status 1

Note that the helper Modules/ld_so_aix is created during configure. Just the path to the helper in the sysconfig data is wrong (relative to the current dir, which will most likely always be wrong except for a few special situations such as when building Python itself).

Is this issue still relevant? I can't find any current buildbot errors on AIX for this test.

Distutils is now deprecated (see PEP 632) and all tagged issues are being closed. From now until removal, only release blocking issues will be considered for distutils. If this issue does not relate to distutils, please remove the component and reopen it. If you believe it still requires a fix, most likely the issue should be re-reported at https://github.com/pypa/setuptools
